Memory Compatibility Issue

[Gabriel Lecomte]

Hi guys,

I currently am the owner of an Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 processor, and due to a problem with my old motherboard, I had to buy the MSI G41M-P33 Combo. At the moment I only have 4GB of RAM (2x DDR3 2GB 1066MHz), however I am willing to upgrade to 8GB and I've encountered a couple of problems regarding the sticks I should buy. I've seen tons of people with the same motherboard that have problem with 1333MHz memory (three bips, doesn't POST), which is acknowledgedly supported by the mobo. I went to Crucial's website to see which sticks they would recommend and I was quite surprised. They recommend a 1600Mhz 4GB UDIMM stick (http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/g41m-p33-combo/CT5651464) but since so many people had problems with 1333 memory I got a bit suspicious. If it is correct, I am considering buying two 4GB UDIMM 1600 DDR3 Adata sticks (http://www.adata.com/en/dram/specification/152), that have the same specs (including CAS Latency of 11). Do you think it is compatible?
